Can’t find the right go kart to buy?

If you’ve answered yes to any of the above questions then perhaps it’s time to think about putting together your own go kart. If you’re interested in owning your own go kart and would like to get your hands dirty in the process then go kart kits are the way to go. Or you might have a particular look of go kart in mind but you just can’t seem to find anywhere to buy it. Alternatively you might just want a project to tinker with at the weekends. Perhaps you want to get the kids away from their Xbox or Playstation for a few hours and spend some quality time together.

Whatever your reasons are for undertaking a project to build your own go kart, the decision you need to make now is how hard do you want to make it for yourself! If you have never built a kart before or never undertaken any kind of mechanical repair or if you don’t consider yourself much of a grease monkey; then perhaps the best place to start would be to buy a ready to assemble go kart kit.
